(The 2013 Caldecott Medal Winner and a New York Times Book Review Notable Children's Book of 2012) The creator of I Want My Hat Back (itself a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book and one of the New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Illustrated Children's Books of the Year), Jon Klassen returns with this second tale of hat thievery and revenge. When a tiny fish shoots into view wearing a round blue topper, and confides to readers 4 and up that the hat isn't even his, trouble could be following a lot closer than he thinks. Klassen's elegantly simple and stylized paintings hilariously reveal the flaws in the overconfident little fish's rationale. "Klassen's authorial debut, I Want My Hat Back, became one of the surprise picture-book hits of the year, and while it's tempting to see this follow-up as a sequel, it's really only related in its hat-theft theme, animal characters, deadpan humor, and a suggestively dark conclusion.... The simple, dramatic tension and macabre humor that's right at a kid's level of deviousness mesh splendidly with Klassen's knack for tiny, telling details and knockout page turns. Who knew hat thievery was such a bottomless well?"—Booklist (starred review) "The eyes have it in Klassen's latest hat book. Klassen manages to tell almost the whole story through subtle eye movements and the tilt of seaweed and air bubbles.... Darkly hilarious."—Horn Book Magazine (starred review)
